[CQ-Contest] Could Advertising Return Full Contest Score Listings to QST?

[Steve London]

Full line scores for all ARRL contests are already available on-line. No need to 
wait for the digital edition.

Go to http://www.arrl.org/contest-results-articles , select your favorite 
contest, and select "Printable Line Scores".
